review:
'Beyonders Vol. 1: The Mapmakers' by Paul Jenkins with art by Wesley St. Claire is a graphic novel about a young boy obsessed with codes and the secret organization that wants to recruit him.

Jake lives in Alaska with his corgi and his aunt and uncle. He is in to conspiracies and codes like the Voynich Manuscript. What he doesn't know is that his life is about to change. Before he knows it, the things in his world aren't what they seem to be and he is off on worldwide adventures to use his codebreaking skills.

I liked parts of this. It started well, then kind of dived in to a ludicrous attempt to tie every weird thing on the planet together. I also didn't care for the art which had a really rushed feel about it. In some panels, the figures aren't completed and don't even have faces, like thumbnail sketches.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Aftershock Comics, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
